Please help clarify if you log your food and it says 1 cup.... what size of a cup would give me the correct masurement how many ml?

You should probably log it by weight, not volume.

Approximately 237mL (8oz).

Have you made beef stew.. build the recipe in the recipe builder, weighing and adding each ingredient, then weigh the cooked dish and divide by the number of 100g servings .. then weigh out your beef stew and log that

Shop bought - scan the package and weigh it

Restuarant / friends house - try to find the most premium, heavy calorie version and log it like that .. overestimating portion size

NEVER use a generic homemade beef stew MFP database entry

And do not use cups to measure food

a measuring cup means 8 oz. That said, weighing things is usually more accurate.

But to clarify the original question, in all food-related measuring, a cup refers to a measuring cup, which is a standard size. I don't use them to measure my food, but I do to make recipes since most American cooking measures ingredients in cups, tablespoon, and teaspoons.
